Colton + Leanne : Married :: Canad Inns Fort Garry Wedding

What a truly wonderful, sweet, special wedding Colton + Leanne had! They are the perfect example of young love with a beautiful history together! They first met in a grade 10 Child Development class in highschool where Colton was the only guy in a full class of ladies. They became close friends but it wasn’t till after highschool that they realized that there might be something more so they gave it a shot and now, they are husband and wife! Colton + Leanne are really awesome people. They are both soo nice and sweet….laid back and easy to work with…the perfect kind of client and I’m proud to say friends! I love what I do so so much….because I get to witness LOVE, at it’s very best and truest form. And love is AWESOME. And getting to capture it is pretty great too! Colton + Leanne’s wedding was just such a fantastic day…..with a wonderful mix of warmth, joy, true friendships, happiness, fun, meaningful aspects, sweet families, tear jerking moments, pretty good weather (considering it was end of September) and soo much LOVE. I was very honored to be a part of it!! Much love to you both, Colton + Leanne!! I hope you have a blast on your honeymoon in Mexico this winter…and I wish you both a lifetime of the same love I watched you exude for one another on your wedding day! xoxo

Special thanks goes out to the lovely Johanna Cometa of JC Makeup Artistry for Leanne’s smokin’ makeup! Johanna is seriously the best!! Also, special thanks to my awesome 2nd shooter, Michelle Zerr for helping me out and spending time with the guys in the morning!! It’s always a great time when we work together! 🙂

Photography is so much harder as a profession than I ever imagined it would be. It is a lot of work, and it takes so much focus (no pun intended..lol), and I probably will never feel like I have it totally mastered. But there is nothing more rewarding than looking through my camera at a person and all of a sudden realizing how amazing and valuable they are and knowing that I am taking pictures of them that they and their loved ones are going to treasure for the rest of their lives. It gives me chills! I can't believe I get to spend my time in such an amazing way! Now more than ever, I value photography for how it helps us remember what is most precious to us, how it brings us straight back to the day we were married or held our new baby for the first time. I honestly cannot think of what I would rather do every day.
